Hey Fantasy 411 Crew,
Would you deal Danny Espinosa for Nelson Cruz in a 20 Team Mixed 10 Keeper League? I already have Rickie Weeks at 2B and my OF consists of Matt Holliday, Jason Heyward, Justin Upton, Austin Jackson (UT), and I have Will Venable and Eric Thames taking space on my bench. I want to pull the trigger on this deal, but the problem for me is that I have no 3B or SS as at the moment as Ian Stewart and Eduardo Nunez are slotted there and I want to use my chips wisely. Should I try to make the deal a Rickie Weeks-Curtis Granderson swap, accept the Espinosa-Cruz deal, or hold off on the deal and use my chips in other places to boost my line-up.
Really need your guidance on this one guys,
The Manoman

On paper, the Espinosa for Cruz deal looks like a win for you but considering your specific situation I might hold off as Cruz’s injury history does hurt his value, particularly in a keeper league. I’m not so sure that he’s a great guy to target. I like the Weeks for Granderson deal though.

None of the above. Tulo is day-to-day as of now so I wouldn’t panic and cut a very good starting pitcher just to cover the shortstop position for a few days. See if you can drop someone else for the SS replacement but if that’s not possible I’d just stand pat until we know more about the extent of Tulo’s injury.

How’s Ogando(Texas) for Carrasco(Cleveland) sound?
I’d be on the receiving end of Carrasco. The reason i wanna give up Ogando is because I think he may be shut down before the season ends. I wanna get something back instead of dropping him. Know what I mean?
Unless you say otherwise I’m gonna try buttering up the guy while I wait for a reply.
Thanks

I’m going with A-Ram. Health is the main issue with him but as long as he stays on the field (and he’s been healthy so far) I think he produces. Freeman is hot right now but the reality is that he’s a rookie who will probably continue to be streaky. Aramis is the safer play for the rest of this season.

Jose Reyes is my only SS and I’m a little worried about his durability as we head into the All Star Break. Can you please rate these guys that are currently on the wire in order of preference? Also state why you like your top pick.

My top three would be Desmond, Bartlett and then Theriot. Desmond’s current AVG is horrible but he did hit a respectable .269 last year so I expect him to improve in that area. He’s guaranteed everyday playing time, carries a decent amount of upside and is stealing plenty of bases.

Im in a 12 team mixed h2h Dynasty league and Phil Hughes is now off the DL. Which player do i drop to make room for him out of these players: Latos, Carlos Carrasco, Brett Lawrie, Hellickson, Trout, Domonic Brown. Or should i just drop Hughes?
